Dependable Mobile Printing and Documentation Solutions for Utility Service Crews.

PocketJet® 6 Plus mobile printer

Providing accurate customer histories, diagrams, maps, switch information, repair instructions and other necessary documentation to utility crews on a timely basis has always been problematic. Sending crews out with handhelds and laptops has helped, but the last mile has been printing those documents quickly and efficiently so crews can address issues on-site rapidly and safely.

Aging infrastructure buried decades ago is prone to disruption from natural causes, but also from very active construction crews and contractors. So distributing timely information on locations of underground or overhead transmission lines or pipelines is increasingly critical, not only for a utilities’ own service personnel but for others working on or near those sites.

The highest priorities for utility crews remain maintenance of this infrastructure and responding to service interruptions; but many public utilities now also provide enhanced services such as energy audits, repairs, device sales and hook-ups and more, which require field techs to not only fix problems, but sell products and services.
